  • Divas Don’t Fake It

    Alexandra (Xandra to her friends) is a diva “from a long line of passionate Russians.” She does everything in a big way, is extremely high maintenance and has already been married twice – not to even mention two broken engagements. As Divas Don’t Fake It opens, Xandra sits in a bar with Scott, her gay…

  • Secrets: Volume 9

Genova Smith finds herself spending Christmas as companion to the elderly Trayce sisters – gruff Calliope and childlike Thalia. Invited to the home…

Therefore, I was excited about reading a novel set among the Mounties in late 19th century Alberta. Sarah O’Neill travels all the way from Halifax, Nova Scotia…
